We just completed our second move with ANC. Peter and his team set the bar for service and quality in our first move and the second move was even better! The difference here is the quality of the staff. Seth, Josh, and Oliver participated in various parts of the move including estimates, packing, loading, transport, and unloading. They were very easy to work with throughout. The estimate was very clear which was important to me because previous moving companies would bait with the estimate and then jack up the charges when the truck arrived. Instead it was very clear how much each part of the move would cost. Not a single thing was broken, and every step of the move happened exactly when they promised. Communication with the moving staff as well as the friendly office staff were excellent, which is a critical part of any successful move. Seth and Josh clearly have a lot of experience with moving and that made the difference with our move. Oliver was very efficient and polite - much different than the types we normally see from moving companies. I would highly recommend ANC for intercity or regional moves! read more

The ANC experience started out with a visit from Seth to furnish us with an estimate and description of the services. His information was thorough and accurate. This gave us confidence that the move would be smooth and worry free. The team showed up on time and again their professionalism made us confident that we were in good hands. They wasted no time getting organized and start the job. Our destination place was a challenging logistical situation. Again. no time was wasted and the job was done in time and within their original budget. Gentlemen, thank you for delivering the goods, literally. Otto and Marie read more

I hired ANC for a local move and experienced a stress free moving experience. Beginning with the very kind staff who listened to my requests for special treatment and implemented them, to the movers who were respectful, careful and timely with our move. The move went smoothly. Having moved numerous times in my life gives me something to compare them with, and I will definitely put them at the top of my list. read more

ANC movers are great! I have used them twice and they are friendly and professional and I would not hesitate to use their services or recommend them to others in the future. read more

We are a local non-profit moving from one office to another. We could not be more pleased with the job. They were responsive, on time, efficient, polite and professional. They packed up for us and moved us in. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service. read more

Could not be more pleased. With just a few days notice, I contacted ANC about moving my dad into my house. Well, him, they didn't physically move my dad. Anyway, I was lucky enough that they had a vehicle available. I was very impressed with the level of care they took over dad's belongings and the residences. Floor runners and padding over the exterior door and jamb. The movers were polite, friendly, efficient and professional. Definitely would and will recommend to anyone. read more

I hired ANC to move a piano - a precious item! I was so nervous, I had to look away when they were loading it onto the cart. It was a hard piece to let go of, but it needed a new home. The three movers were kind, very careful, and very respectful of the item and my experience of it. The fee was reasonable, in line with other piano movers, and I would definitely hire them again for an important move. read more

I have hired movers for the same set of things 4 times this year and these guys were by far the slowest and inefficient. For example, one of the guys moved like he was going for a stroll the entire time. Another is they did not have a hex key needed to take my desk apart. Instead of asking me if I had one, they just went ahead and tried with the tools they had until I asked because I had a feeling they were stuck. I try not to hover over people doing their job because I trust I hired professionals. I found I should've asked sooner because by that time, they were already 3/4 done and the time was gone. Some other things didn't make sense such as stacking 2 uhaul large boxes on top of a medium one. The medium boxes were of course crushed a bit on one side. They were also not great at packing the storage unit I moved into. Things were placed inefficiently, which I fixed. Not a huge deal, but I've seen some experienced movers with amazing tetris skills. This is important when you have limited space. Overall, it was fine. They were very polite and cautious with moving the furniture, covering the doorways with moving blankets, and placing a runner on the stairs. I think this crew just lacked experience. They took about 4 hours to do a 3.5 hour job. I have seen a different crew from this same company work much faster for a friend's move from the same house I moved out of, so your experience could be different. I would suggest requesting the crew named on good reviews. read more

quality. moved a piano over 110 years old with great care. Would readily book them again. booking was easy, communication from start to finish was thorough and perfect. read more

BUYERS BEWARE. I was taken advantage of as a client. I would NOT recommend this moving company to anyone. Issue #1: Suspicious & Inaccurate bid My original estimate was between $325.20 and $650.40 and 2-4 hours to move a one-bedroom apartment. The actual move took 8 hours and totaled to the amount of $1,300. Issue #2: Hidden Fees and Fraud It took the ANC Movers 37 min to drive 7.3 miles from the office to my apartment when on any given day it should have taken only 10-12 minutes. The timer begins when they leave their office so I feel extra time was taken so they could charge me more. There were also various hidden fees that were not disclosed upfront, including a long carry-free and an elevator fee. There is a section on the contract for time off, but NO time was documented for breaks. I had multiple eye witnesses let me know that there were prolonged breaks taken during the move. Issue #3: Lack of Communication and Horrible Customer Service It was very difficult to get a hold of someone I could talk to share my experience of the service they provided. After finally getting a hold of the manager, Peter had agreed that $700 would settle the cost of the move. To then send me to collections for the remaining payments without notice seems like fraud to me. A written agreement to this price should have been provided after the agreement had been made. I had left multiple, MULTIPLE messages for the manager to call me back to discuss the situation and yet no one had called me back. Finally, I went in person to the office and was met with hostility. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

I hired ANC and they were very responsive. They moved my house to include so very heavy specialty items. They were timely and came with everything needed for the move. They took great care in protecting the items being moved along with doors, floors, etc.. I highly recommend them!! read more

ANC Movers - Moving 800lb safe. - Movers Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I can not say enough good things about ANC. We needed to do a double move and needed packing for both locations. Seth and his team (shout out to the Triple J packing team!) were so professional and kind. My partner is caring for her mother on hospice and I was tasked with orchestrating the double pack/move by myself. They saw that I was having severe anxiety about leaving my home of 22 years and the stress of trying to manage both moves. These guys stepped it up for me, working with me to lessen my anxiety. Played some music to help distract me. Above and beyond. These people care about people. Probably wasn't the cheapest. But to orchestrate a double pack and move in one day, with 2 days notice...I will definitely hire them again. read more

I chose ANC Movers because of their philosophy on giving back to the community as listed on their website. The three young men that were assigned to my move were very punctual, efficient, professional, so kind, and most of all reduced my moving day anxiety down to almost nothing. They asked clarifying questions to make sure things were placed where I wanted them and had great patience with me when I asked them to be moved a few times by mere inches. I highly recommend this ANC Movers!!! read more

Was very eager to use black owned business. Movers were 30 minutes late. Then charged me 15 minutes to WALK TO THEIR TRUCK, then charged "up" another 15 minutes because we ended on the 1/2 hour for a total of $230 overcharging. Smh. Wouldn't recommend for this reason. Nice workers and Lisa in office was nice. Laura in office hung up on us when we called to inquire why movers were late while holding the loading dock parking and elevator reservation. Very poor service. read more

This was my second time using ANC, they are prompt, hardworking and really nice people. Treated my things with care.

If I could, I'd give less than one star. We really (REALLY!) wanted to like ANC Movers for a variety of reasons, including that they claim to be Washington's only Black/minority owned moving company. It all started out well. They were responsive, provided a quote quickly, were accommodating. At first, we were pleased. Then came packing and moving days (early July 2021). We had already packed the vast majority of our home - the packers even commented on what an easy job they had. We physically moved the day the packers came, so we were only there the first few hours. All seemed well, and they assured me everything would be packed and ready to go for the move, which was happening a few days later. They also assured me that my plants would be placed on the back of the truck, and that our BBQs, lawnmower, weedwhacker, etc would also come (these things were listed on the estimate, but I asked again, just to be sure). As I left the house, I reminded them that the bathrooms needed to be packed - again they assured me they would get everything in the house. The day of the actual move we had our neighbor check in on things for us. This is when it all went very sideways and downhill. Not only had the packers NOT PACKED everything, the movers were simply leaving A LOT of our stuff behind and in the house (which was closing the next day!). The bathrooms had not been packed AT ALL, cabinets were still full of stuff (pots/pans, platters, etc). Regardless, the movers were in the moving truck pulling out of our driveway - our neighbor had to flag them down and request they take all the 'stuff' - they refused b/c it wasn't packed. So our neighbor had to pack what she could quickly into trash bags. The most shocking thing in all of this - Peter (the owner!) was there!! When I frantically emailed and called Peter about all the things being left behind, his response was that they couldn't take any of it, and well, he was sorry for the miscommunication. I highlighted that all these items WERE LISTED on our estimate - no response. We had to have our neighbor and a friend get the stuff that was left behind - it was two pickup truck beds full of stuff!! We are still (a month later) trying to coordinate getting the rest of our stuff, some of which is very special family dinnerware. When the moving truck arrived at our new home, it looked as if our stuff had literally been thrown haphazardly into the truck. So much stuff was damaged - art and wall hangings were not wrapped and many were damaged. A leather chair was scratched and severely damaged. The list goes on. The end of this epic story gets worse - I contacted Peter and requested that he reduce the fee for packing, since clearly it was a sloppy at best, and negligent at worst, job. He refused and instead attempted to push blame on us - I made it clear to him that we were going to contest the charge. Then I received an email from the company that payment had been received - THEY BILLED MY CREDIT CARD WITHOUT MY APPROVAL. I was shocked. (Is this even legal?? Why did they still have my credit card information on file?!?) I have never, ever had such a horrible experience with a company. I cannot stress enough - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY unless you want to deal with a horrible packing job, A LOT of your stuff being left behind, and an owner who just doesn't seem to care. read more

ANC were just phenomenal to work with. From the moment we reached out to them they were very responsive, and asked great questions to make sure they had all the info necessary for our move. We vastly underestimated how much stuff we had (that is on us!), yet they had looked around this corner and were able to change scope during the move. Artem and his team were really professional and easy to get along with. We cannot recommend ANC Movers highly enough! read more

ANC Movers was fantastic! I called in the morning not expecting to actually find movers on such short notice, and was very pleasantly surprised to find that ANC could help me out. The receptionist was very helpful and arranged for two movers to help us in the afternoon. The movers were on time and did a wonderful job! They really went the extra mile to set things up for my mom. They were very pleasant and professional as well. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

End to end these guys were fast and easy to work with. I had a few special requests for items to be moved or stored a certain way, and they were easy to talk to. We had all kinds of stuff that needed to be moved, and they loaded it up, no problem. Unloading went even faster. I feel like they took great care of our stuff, and certainly didn't "run the clock" in any way. Local company that came with three co-workers recommendation. They certainly lived up to and exceeded expectations! read more

We used ANC movers this past weekend and we cannot speak more highly of them. The team was punctual, professional and very personable. They took meticulous care of our possessions and homes and were even kind to our dog! And extremely reasonable, the final bill was lower than the estimate given. 100% recommend to anyone looking to hire movers. read more

As repeat customers, we were pleased to receive the same great service a second time around. Recommended for local moving needs and we have found them to be consistently reliable. read more

We are very happy and satisfied with this company! ANC movers did a great job and for less than previously quoted to us! They showed up on time 3 young guys with muscles! They. Were gentle with out stuff and everything went smooth with no damage to anything we owned! This is our last house and move and we are now Getting settled, but if we ever need to ever do this again ANC will certainly be called first? Thank you ANC and 5 stars****. read more

One of the best moving companies we have ever worked with in over twenty moves. The whole process was professional from the scheduling for a quote to the actual move. Peter Clarke and his team are the best. We had a special move with a Grand Piano and other large high end items. They took great care with all of it and way above and beyond to care for my piano. I highly recommend this crew. read more

Very professional and hard working team. My new place was freshly painted and they were super careful. Not one scratch, ding or mark. They were fantastic. Great job guys!! read more

From start to finish, ANC and their team is phenomenal. They are quick to respond, take great care, and are just an amazing group of people! Have used them for two moves and both times I couldn't be happier with the job they did. Highly recommend!! read more

ANC Movers made our move so easy! We moved from a steep 3rd floor apartment in Vancouver to a 2nd floor apartment in Portland. We had lots of stuff--5ft dollhouses, an entire gym set(400+lbs) amongst many other things and these movers completed the move in around 5hrs! YOU GUYS ROCK! We will definitely be using your service again and will gladly recommend your moving company. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

We moved from out of state in June and needed to leave our belongings in our garage until we finished some work on our house. We anticipated not being able to find a moving company who would want to take on the smaller job of moving us into our home. Enter ANC. From the moment I spoke with Melissa in the front office, I could tell that this was a customer-oriented company. They definitely have a 'no problem' attitude and nothing was too big (or small) to handle. We had a few very heavy pieces that were also bulky and unruly. Brian and Shane moved these items into our home as if they were made of "Styrofoam." We couldn't believe how quickly they got our furniture into our home and placed it perfectly. The guys were also very personable, polite, and fun to work with. They showed up on time and got right to work. The fee we were quoted was exactly what we paid and the move-in was flawless. I can't say enough about this company. They de-stressify moving. read more

They did excellent work moving our stuff which included a large piano without incident! They were on time and professional. They also had one of the best prices and honored their original quote. I would definitely use them again! read more

Buyer Beware: If I could give this place negative stars I would. The people in the office are liars. They miss quoted me and added extra items to my moving list which caused them to have three guys on my move instead of the two I was quoted which made my original estimate go up $250. I had originally picked this place for the price but they turned out to be more expensive than ANY of the others that I had looked into. WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. And I urge anyone looking for honest movers to look elsewhere. I brought the issue to their attention and these people are unwilling to stand by the original quote given on the phone. And it's to bad because the guys that did the actual moving where great. read more

I have used this company three times in the past year and will do so again. They are highly competent, organized, efficient, and meticulous. They disassembled an old organ to get it through a doorway and put it back together, maneuvered a piano through difficult spaces, and managed to safely move antique furniture up and down narrow stairways. Plus they seem to only hire fun people with a sense of humor, something that helps reduce the stress of moving. I've worked with JJ and Chris twice now, and they earn top marks. Seth gets extra points for sense of humor. Highly recommend! read more

They did a really good job moving from a one story to a two story and managing the turns up the stairs. We did find some boxes marked for specific rooms left in the garage but overall it was a positive experience. read more

This was the very first time my wife and I had to use a moving company. ANC Movers were outstanding. Five guys and two trucks equaled one trip. They were amazingly fast too, with no damage to our furniture. They also charged us $380 less than the estimate. I would definitely recommend this moving company to everyone and anyone. The owner Peter Clark was fabulous from the get go with his immediate response to my phone call to give me a walk through estimate. Call ANC Movers, you won't be sorry.

Since we used this company with great success before, we hired them a year later to move a relative. Once again, the service was flawless. Owner Peter Clarke has been in the moving business for 20 years, and his care and concern for his customers and their goods shows it. Moving is stressful, but is made so much better when the helpers are professional, efficient and really nice. Kudos to Peter and his excellent team (Jennifer in the office, and JJ and Tyler lifting and toting). We will definitely be seeing you again, as well as recommending you to others. read more

Clarke's Piano moving service was wonderful! They came in cheaper than several other quotes that I received, their service was excellent and they showed up right on time. They even provided the piano moving equipment for very little extra. read more

Peter was extremely prompt and personable during our move. It made an otherwise stressful move enjoyable and free of hassle. Thanks Peter!

I have used ANC Movers several times and have been impressed every time. Not only is Peter a wonderful person to work with, but his crew are careful and mindful. Great company, I have referred them to many of my friends and associates. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Please look elsewhere. I could go on and on about every detail about this company and the unprofessionalism that I experienced with them. However, I want to highlight that from the very beginning when I called to make my reservation I was given false information including pricing. The movers were absolutely horrible, scraped my couches all across the ceiling and left white paint marks all over it. Damaged a shelf that they refused to acknowledge was their fault. They took over an hour to get from my old house to the new house and it's only a 30 minute drive. I questioned the pricing at the end of the move and one of the movers I think his name was Chris, threw his phone down on one of my boxes and started cussing at me telling me he's never heard of that pricing before, I told him who I spoke with to make my reservation he continued with an aggressive attitude and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I called to complain to the manager about this and she said she would look into it, she never called me back and everytime I call they either don't pick up or they tell me she's not there and will have to call back. PLEASE PPL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! read more

I had a baby grand piano that needed to be moved from Portland to Vancouver. The quote was the lowest I received, so I went with ANC. I could not have been any more pleased with the entire service. Prompt and polite! They moved everything, and were extremely careful with both my piano, and wood floors. The three guys who moved it, as well as the woman who scheduled the appointment were all exceptionally polite and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again! read more

I used ANC after looking at the reviews and boy was that a mistake. I had them load a U-Haul truck for me and when I got the truck to my destination in Florida I found out how bad of a job they had done. All my nearly new furniture was damaged from the lack of blankets they used. On top of all of that my sons Desk Top computer tower was missing. It was a very expensive gaming computer and was a huge disappointment for my son as it isnt easy to replace a $2,000 computer. I called Jennifer and Peter after I noticed all the problems and also sent pictures of the damage, This is when you better hope you dont have a problem with them as no call backs or follow ups. When I finally got a hold of them it was just them back peddling. I asked for the insurance carrier info and they wouldnt even provide that, I just dont want anyone else to go thru what I did with them. If you are going to use them please get the insurance info first as you wont get it later. I would run the other way and never use this company to move anything of value. I still to this day have not gotten the insurance info from them so I could get my damaged furniture fixed and the computer replaced. I will say that I will pursue every avenue I can on getting the word out about this company so some other unlucky person doesnt make the same mistake. read more
